The meal had rice, saag, dalma, besara and pachadi.
The picture does no justice to how delicious this meal was.

Historically when kings used to go on hunting, they usually took Mudhi as it was easier to carry.

Arisa Pitha.
Also popular in coastal Andhra as Ariselu. I have grown up calling it as Anarsa in Maharshtra.
It also is a popular custom amongst Odia bridegrooms to carry along a basket of Arisa pithas for their in-laws.
